'The certainly timely and thought-provoking study by Andreas O’Shea is dedicated to shed – in a systematic and doctrinally sound fashion – light on the relationship between amnesty laws and the international legal framework…Overall, the author is to be congratulated for the comprehensive and analytical treatment of a subject, which unquestionably has proven to be the source for increasing tensions between the growing framework of international human rights as well as criminal law on the one hand, and national practice following armed conflict on the other…any practitioner or scholar interested in the topic will appreciate O’Shea’s effort to doctrinally analyze the controversial relationship between international law and municipal amnesties.’
Michael Schoiwohl, Austrian Review of International and European Law, 2003.
'O'Shea's study on the limits of amnesty in the context of recent developments in international criminal law, particularly the creation of a permanent International Criminal Court, is essential reading for scholars and practitioners. His examination of amnesty in the context of national experience and international expectation covers new ground, and presents a challenging Protocol for the consideration of States which is both innovative and realistic'.
